The idea is for students not only to become more creative in their writing but also look outside of the box ie by looking at different angles in an image to visualize how what we first assumed is quite different from a closer - up angle . It was a fun lesson and students enjoyed very much. Can be adapted to any secondary group or 16+.

Analysing language; word choice, sentence structure, punctuation, tone and mood in 4excerpts; The Monkeys Paw, The Red Room, The Necklace and The Third Wish.

Complete lesson or can be stretched to two lessons. PPt should be viewed in slide show format for the animations. It is compiled in this method for eliciting purposes. I found this a very interesting method of teaching through film, showing stu the visual text and how the various camera shots angles and movements are important in setting a scene and showing tension and suspense. Stu see the visual imagery and how foreshadowing is used at the start and the importance of that. Students have various examples of foreshadowing which writer's apply - subtle and direct examples, activities, finally stu write an opening using imagery and foreshadow to create tension and suspense from a starter.

I have once again introduced students to a film 'Shawshank' where I wanted to show them how a directors develops visual text. Following by various activities where the need to transpose the scene into a written text and use visual pictures in text. Secondly they then have to change the ending of the scene to change the mood. Finally there is peer feedback. Developing language skills and effects on the reader. How a writer's words can change the mood - imagery. Again must be seen through slide show. This lesson is for stu to understand how mood is changed and how important visual language is. I found that through using a fillm and writing stu will get a greater understanding of language and mood when answering Paper 1 Ao2 Ques 2.

Creative writing, sequencing techniques. How language and structures are applied and writing from a film clip, 'Dirty Pretty Things' - may not be suitable for younger students.
